Isaac Oyelowo

Obsessive problem-solver disguised as a software engineer.

Available for projects
📍Cardiff, UK

👋 The Short Version

I've spent 15+ years building things on the web — from payment gateways that process real money to WordPress plugins used by thousands of stores.

I'm the kind of person who can't leave a problem unsolved. If something's broken, I'll fix it. If it doesn't exist, I'll build it. That obsession has led me from self-taught teenager to MSc in Software Engineering from Cardiff University.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me on the PS5, reading books about power and human nature, or working on the next side project that keeps me up at night.
